Mercedes-Benz Oil Change in Durham, NC

Premium Oil Change Service in Durham is an
Exceptional Benefit for Your Mercedes-Benz

While all routine maintenance is key to the
long-term vitality of your vehicle in the Raleigh area, your oil change service
is one of the most important to keep up with--and one of the riskiest to
ignore.

But, with a premium, professional full-service
facility located on-site, Mercedes-Benz of Durham makes it easy to keep up with
car care in Chapel Hill, Morrisville, and Hillsborough.

Why Engine Oil is Vital to Engine
Performance

While engine oil seems like a rather simple fluid,
this liquid gold is essential in keeping your engine working at an optimal
temperature and at best performance. The oil starts in a reservoir and is
pumped out and throughout the interior of the engine. By moving through the
system, the oil lubricates moving components, and can help to regulate
temperature--cooling hot metal as it runs and warming cold equipment in cooler
weather.

Well-oiled components run smoother, providing a
quieter and more comfortable ride quality, and can even boost your fuel economy
and lower your emissions. As the engine oil completes its cycle and returns to
the reservoir, it passes through an oil filter that grabs away any dirt,
debris, or particles. This final step is important, because it prevents the
build-up of sludge and prevents corrosion and rust.

However, that final step is also the reason that
oil changes are so critical to your engine's performance and
lifespan.

Why It's Important to Get Your Oil &
Filter Changed

When you get your oil changed by professionals, the
old oil and filter--and all of the accumulated particles and grime that comes
along with it--gets removed and appropriately disposed of. We add new,
vehicle-appropriate synthetic or conventional engine oil, replace the oil
filter with a new product, and when we're done, you'll be ready for another few
thousand miles of driving.

Everyone knows that changing your oil on time is
important--but when life gets busy, it can be tempting to quietly push it to
the back burner and plan to do it another day. However, putting off your oil
change for too long can be terrible for your engine.

That's why we offer oil change coupons and
incentives for drivers in the Raleigh area to come in and get the work done.
It's fast, affordable, and easy; you can even schedule an oil change online
from the comfort of home or the convenience of your office.

Oil Change Service: Frequently-Asked
Questions

Do I really need to change my oil every
3,000 miles?

While oil change intervals vary by brand, and even
by model, there are very few vehicles that actually require their oil to be
changed on such a conservative schedule. Mercedes-Benz vehicles recommend a
10,000-mile oil change interval; other brands tend to recommend 5,000 - 7,500
intervals. Please check your owner's manual or ask an expert.

How much is an oil change at a car
dealership?

Oil change costs are not fixed--they may vary in
price by location, by brand, and by oil change type. At Mercedes-Benz of
Durham, we offer oil change specials frequently to help you save
money.

What's the difference between synthetic
oil and conventional oil?

Synthetic engine oil is refined--as conventional
oil is--but it is then distilled and actually gets broken down into basic
molecules; this makes it a cleaner form of oil with less impurities, and makes
it possible for synthetic motor oil to be customized for modern engines. It can
also perform better in extreme temperatures.
